Villa renovation

Renovation is harder than building new because you work with what exists: old structure, old pipework and faults hidden behind finishes. The more thorough the survey before signing, the fewer surprises during works.

What makes it different

Villa renovation — get it right from design

Villas past their first 10–15 years share a familiar set of problems: roof and balcony leaks, electrical systems short of modern loads, corroded concealed pipework and layouts that no longer fit how the family lives. AIC's method is survey first — structural checks, settlement measurement, tracing existing MEP, judging what stays and what goes — then quote. The BOQ reflects the building's real condition instead of guesses, and mid-project extras only happen when the family changes the scope.

Done right

The items that decide quality

Structural survey before any promise

Which walls can go and which openings can be made depends on the real load-bearing structure — AIC checks beams, columns and settlement before drawing, not after.

Waterproofing fixed at the source

Roof, balcony and rising-damp leaks are chronic in older villas — finishes come off and the source gets treated and flood-tested, never just painted over.

MEP renewed to current standards

Old wiring lacks capacity and earthing; galvanised pipes leak — renovation is the moment to replace it all, routed before finishes close.

Keep what deserves keeping

Solid timber floors, stairs and doors can often be restored rather than replaced — cheaper, and it keeps the house's soul. Each item is assessed in the survey report.

Stay in or move out

Full renovations are better with the family out for 2–3 months; zoned renovations allow staying with phased works — this decision drives both schedule and cost, so settle it early.

Permits when architecture changes

Adding floors, extending footprint or changing facades in planned zones needs a building permit — AIC clarifies the line between interior renovation (no permit) and architectural change (permit) from day one.

Frequently asked questions

Villa renovation

Is renovating more expensive than fitting out a new house?

Usually yes, by 15–30% for the same area — demolition, waterproofing, MEP replacement and items that only appear once old finishes come off. A thorough pre-contract survey moves most of that into the BOQ instead of leaving it as surprises.

Is the site survey free?

The preliminary survey for quoting is free. A deep survey with measurement, structural probing and detailed as-built drawings is quoted in advance — and credited against the contract if you build with AIC.

How long does a full villa renovation take?

Typically 3–5 months: demolition and structural work 3–4 weeks, building services 3–4 weeks, finishes and interiors 6–10 weeks. AIC sends weekly progress reports with photos so the family can follow remotely.
